Out of the 3 bars on Piedmont Ave, I enjoy the Lodge the most. Free Popcorn, outdoor covered patio, dog friendly, well priced drinks, slushy option, and the atmosphere rad Oaklanders and a cabin theme throughout.FEMALE OWNED!New food pop up is Pancho's cafe serving wings burgers tacos and a chicken sandos. Oh yeah and Friday Cupcakes by Irene to get the weekend started right!Vegetarian options: new pop up is committed to offering something for everyone.
Great spot to grab a drink and chill in the cozy back patio. I always ask friends to meet me here. Dive bar in the best ways.

A pleasant place to have cocktails, The Lodge, whether lively or a slow night, always seems to have a welcoming vibe. Friendly bartenders and inexpensive drinks. The kitchen has excellent chicken sandwiches. A neighborhood bar with a fair share of regulars, it is a step above what I would call a dive bar. Nice, dog friendly patio in the back.

Meh. So so selection of brews. I think they need to work a long term deal with a kick a** food vendor to really get things popping. Would be cool if they had like an 80's, 90's, pop, r&B, heavy metal only night or an electronic jukebox. I don't know. There's something missing. It has the makings of a really solid watering hole, if not one of the Town's best, but I just feels like the Lodge hasn't quite discovered how awesome it could be.

This place is a big bar with good drinks and nice staff. Nothing too stand out, just a neighborhood local.

Good priced beer and free popcorn! If im in town will stop again ?
I don't drink we came for the chicken Sammie's since I know the chef and they are the best in the Bay Area and I've tried them all!! We had his citric and j*** and both were just ridiculous terps!! The fries were like BBQ flavor and were also dank I just didn't want to waste my appetite not eating the delicious sandwich. Trying to get back but having two young kids and being in Vallejo it's a bit rough but hopefully sooner than later to try the orange chicken special

my favorite bar in oakland! it's not too loud, has a good beer selection, great chicken sandwiches, and the bartenders are attentive and nice.

Rude and condescending staff. My family attempted to dine here at the fried chicken pop-up inside but the bartender was obnoxious and spoke down to a family member just because he looks young for his age. OF COURSE WE KNOW IT'S A BAR B*TCH, no need to be an a$$hole, don't speak to us like we're idiots!It's unfortunate that all the positive reviews for the fried chicken business are propping up this crappy bar and its terrible staff. The bar itself really only deserves zero stars.

Nice spot, super chill, good drinks. My favorite part though, is the food by Fowl + Fare. The best fried chicken sandwiches in Oakland! Citrus Hot is our all-time favorite, and it is spicy!

Friendliest people and staff. The vibes here are just off the chain.
